Brooklyn Bounce is one of Europes most significant Live Dance Acts in the world. They are popular for their progressive sound, strong beats, pumping bass lines and a fat electrifying and bombastic hook line in their tracks. In the eight year history they could release no less than five albums and fourteen singles, which have all stormed the European and World Charts. Brooklyn Bounce was also nominated for two ECHO prizes and a COMET, as well as receiving Gold and Platinum awards.

The producers Matthias Double M Menck and Dennis DJ Bonebeaker Bohn started their commercial succsess in the middle until the end of the 90th. The two Hamburg natives had their first success soon after they  met the first time in 1995. Their first chart hit of Boyz R Us - Singin in my mind  hinted  what will come in the future. In 1997, the duo debuted as Brooklyn Bounce, a characteristical visual dance act fronted by the vocalists and dancers Stephan Damon Zschoppe, Ulrica Bohn and Maeva, two go-go girls from Hamburgs Traxx Club. The Theme (Of Progressive Attack) scaled the German Dance Charts as a club favourite before coming a crossover hit for Brooklyn Bounce in France, Austria, Scandinavia and Germany. The singles success let Brooklyn Bounce decide to produce the debut album, In the Beginning. This album became also big success in whole Europe so they decided to present the second album The Second Attack in the same year.

With the presentation of the album Restart in 2001, Damons career ended with his decision to take more time with his family. Restart was a perfect produced hard trance album, that contains the chartbusters Club Bizarre, Born To Bounce, and Bass Beats & Melody. At this time Brooklyn Bounce was represented on stage by the cool Swede Ulrica Bohn, the fiery Chilean Alexandra Cuevas Moreno and the hot blooded Diabolo Rene Behrens. After many successful years, hundreds of performances together, the third album BB Nation and singles like Club Bizarre, Loud & Proud and Bring it back, Ulrica and Alexandra decided to leave their jobs as singers in the band and pursue new endeavours.

In summer 2003 Brooklyn Bounce started a new chapter in their history. With the support of NESTL SCHLLER and VIVA, two new singers and dancers were sought  in a nationwide casting action. A total of eight final contestants competed on VIVA to join the band. With the help of VIVA-viewers, the competition was won by 21-year-old Marina from Gelsenkirchen and 26-year-old Mandy who lives in Mlheim. Together with Diabolo, they presented the X2X (we want more), Crazy and the album X-Pect The Un-X-Pected which has been released in November 2004.

The secret of their success is not a deal with the devil, it is more the unique, tough winking Brooklyn Bounce Sound, a hot style in varnish and leather with a demonic tempting attitude that was often copyed, but never in such a perfect completion.

Brooklyn Bounce plans for october 2005 to release their new single and their sixth album.

Name: Marcello Marchitto

Jobs: DJ, Remixer, Producer, Label Chef

Music Style: Club, Vocal, Latin, French & Ibiza House 

DJ since:  October 1991

Marcello was born 1976 in Soest as Half-Italian Boy and had been into instrumental music since he was a child. Rather, since Miami Vice. One night in 1991 he ends up in a Techno club. Its easy to guess  since then he is magnetised by the electronic beat. It takes two more years and Marcello Marchitto buys his first pair of Technics.

Nothing special, so far. During the following years Marcello Marchitto makes his way from the guy involved in his local scene to a recognised part of the international House scene. In the time between 1991 and 1996 he could plays in difference Clubs, Radio-Stations and Events in Middle and North Germany. He changes to House-Music after it enters in the middle of the 90s in Germany and UK. He saw in this new style a future and success, because the girls and people love this rhythmic and melodic style that reminds on the best time of the 70s.

1995 he organised his first Parties the legendaries House Mill and House Church Nights. In 1996 Marcello Marchitto  becomes support DJ of Boy George during his European club tour. In 1997 follows the opening of his first, own venue Luna Club withguests like Hardsequenzer or Timo Maas. There he celebrates his 20st Birthday. Marcello Marchitto continues his way with first steps in producing leading into his first release Ocean together with Mike Age in 1998. The founding of Chicaria Records follows with the huge success of the First Class E.P. becoming not only Ibizas summer anthem in 2002. With Chicaria was created a Label for club, vocal, tribal and electro house. www.chicaria.com

Since then Marcello Marchittos schedule is packed through the label work as well as himself playing gigs all around the globe like Dubai, Ibiza, Mallorca,  Spain, Italy, Ukraine, Germany etc. Further, Marcello Marchitto is the head behind the releases of Groovedust, Deepstarr or Funkinjection and various remix works for DJ 88 Keys, Superfunk and his label mates at Chicaria Records.

It is Marcello Marchittos sense for pragmatism that allows him to realise his colourful career. Im not aiming for aspects of art. To me it is important that the things fit together. All I want is the right groove when I play. I want my audience to have fun. Its that simple but complicating in one time! Seems like things can be that simple, sometimes.
